Octoshape,
an industry leader in cloud-based streaming technology, has developed an
integrated technology showcase
with Juniper Networks (News - Alert) to provide a foundation for Broadband TV with the
scale, quality and cost efficiency of broadcast TV. The showcase is
being hosted from Juniper Networks' New Jersey-based OpenLab,
the Junos® Center for Innovation, which facilitates a collaborative
environment for Juniper's customers, partners and academia to learn
about and develop new network integrated software applications.

The showcase
integrates Octoshape's Infinite
HD-M Federated Multicast platform with Juniper Networks® MX Series
3D Universal Edge Routers for both Native Multicast, and Automatic
Multicast Tunneling (AMT (News - Alert)). The HD-M solution for high definition
Internet video has been in production since April 2012, and now utilizes
the first commercially available AMT relay from Juniper.

The collaboration between the two companies is a huge step forward in
making the Internet a reliable medium for high quality video
distribution. The integration of Infinite HD-M differentiates Juniper
Networks in the OTT IPTV (News - Alert) marketplace by enabling telco, operator and
campus networks to facilitate Multicast over the unmanaged broadband
network.

"Octoshape's advanced video distribution technology provides high
definition Internet video regardless of the geographic location,
connectivity or network conditions of the viewer. Combined with
Juniper's AMT technology on its MX Series routers, it enables us to
transform the quality and economics of Internet-based video," said Mike
Bushong, senior director product line management, Junos, Juniper
Networks.

The Infinite HD-M solution enables TV quality, scale and economics for
IPTV over unmanaged IP networks now utilizing existing Juniper
infrastructure in the telco and operator network. Infinite HD-M enables
large volumes of broadband TV to be delivered efficiently over last mile
networks without requiring the vast infrastructure upgrades necessary
with traditional video delivery platforms.

"Juniper Networks has a proven track record of bringing innovative, high
performance, scalable solutions to the Internet," said Michael Koehn
Milland, CEO of Octoshape. "When combined with Octoshape's Infinite HD-M
technology it enables us to jointly bring together the entire video
distribution solution for a unique and industry-changing offering in the
Internet video distribution segment."

Telco and cable operators that are part of the Infinite HD-M Federated
network receive the signals via native IP Multicast in a way that allows
them to easily manage large volumes of traffic without upgrading their
Internet capacity. Octoshape's federated linear broadband TV ecosystem
will continue to expand globally in carefully planned phases adding
content contribution partners, tier one broadband providers, connected
television manufacturers and conditional access providers.
